Bears Jets Dale Zanine Todd Kirkland Brett Davis Kevin C Cox

The Chicago Bears (3-8) will face the New York Jets (6-4) on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to break a four-game losing streak.

The Bears are coming off a 27-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons (5-6), where all phases had their share of struggles. To make matters worse, quarterback Justin Fields suffered a left shoulder separation, which has his status for Sunday’s game in question.
